Raps +6.5 (-105)...3u...yup, im a sucker here - i dont expect blowouts in this series...i strongly lean ML here +235 but its not my style at the moment given my futures wager.
Heres how i see this series going:
Game 1 - Raps win in a very close game.
Game 2 - Bucks win and likely cover the spread (likely around -5)
Game 3 - Raps win and likely cover relatively easily, perhaps avoiding a late game backdoor garbage time cover by the Bucks (likely -4.5)
Game 4 - Raps win and Bucks likely cover in a 1-3 pt squeaker (OT wouldnt surprise me here)
Game 5 - Bucks win and cover wire to wire (this could be the one blowout potential / Raps letdown spot)
Game 6 - Raps win and cover in the end due to the Bucks fouling late out of desperation and chucking/missing their 3s going for broke.
The next 2 weeks are going to be fun here in Drakeville...i hear hes going to be wearing all Milwaukee gear in hopes to jinx them...what a Degrassi punk move...love it!
A 26-year veteran of NBA refereeing, Salvatore has a solid reputation among the various experts I have talked to. But among fans, it's hard to imagine there is a more reviled official.
Salvatore famously made a key call against Dirk Nowitzki in Game 5 of the 2006 NBA Finals after which Dallas owner Mark Cuban held one of the angriest press conferences in history. ESPN's Bill Simmons has named Salvatore the second worst referee in the NBA, and a review of every call of Game 5 by 82games.comfound that of the ten debatable calls Salvatore made in that game, an astonishing eight (I'm no math whiz, but that's 80%) favored the Heat -- who ultimately won that game and the championship.
Ive been locked in watching local sportsnet broadcasts - honestly growing up watching ABC or CBS nba finals, i cant believe i abandoned Marv after all these years. But something i have noticed and no one is talking about on Sportsnet - has Durant even been on the Warriors bench this entire series? I havent seen him once.

Rap's clean the board....
